Meghan & Mike traveled all the way from Chicago in the USA to make their vows in the beautiful Cape Town. It was a perfect spring day in the winelands with an intimate ceremony and a day of winetasting perfectly planned by Wedding Concepts.

An icy cold day and a backdrop of snow on the mountains around Diamant Estate in Paarl was the setting for David & Lara's intimate wedding day. With a quick hail storm after the ceremony, the most fun entourage and of course their busy Swiss Sheperd named Dutch, there was never a shortage of incredible moments to capture. With a couple amazing at photography themselves, my brief was to mostly document - and I enjoyed every moment! David & Lara, you are incredible people and I am grateful for the opportunity to share in this small part of your journey together. Although we will seemingly always disagree on camera brand choices... :)

Here are a couple of my favourite moments <3

The Garden Route of South Africa is one of the most popular holiday destinations for both local and international travelers – with good reason. It is a place with magnificent views and hundreds of kilometers of natural forests, cliffs, beaches and mountains.

I was fortunate enough to work with one of the best planners in South Africa, Chelsea and her team from Warren-Stone Weddings on Mark & Michelle’s wedding that was planned to perfection.

DUCK POINT VAAL WEDDING VENUE

 

Duck Point wedding venue on the banks of the Vaal River in the northern Freestate has been on my wedding bucket-list for quite some time. Since moving back to Cape Town, it became a bit harder to market for the northern area but since a lot of my previous clients still live there, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel back for Edmund & Franzelle's incredible celebration.

After chatting and planning Nuraan & Taariq's wedding for about three whole years and numerous postponements and venue changes due to 2020, the couple finally decided to go ahed with a small nikkah and do their reception later when it was safe and legal to do so.

DE UIJLENES WEDDING VENUE SOUTH AFRICA

 

Overberg wedding venue, The Old Barn, or better known as De Uijlenes near Gansbaai in the Western Cape is the perfect laid-back  forest wedding venue. I've worked here before as wedding photographer at their sister venue on the same property, The Nightjar and I was very excited to finally have the forest ceremony of The Old Barn.

Danielle & Daniel chose this beautiful place as backdrop for their wedding.

The day started off at bridesman Tim's spectacular apartment overlooking the city centre as well as the iconic Mount Nelson Hotel. Laura & Dave's wedding was not about the details but about the moments and the people who came from all over the world to celebrate with them. I tried something different with this blog as it was tough to narrow so many images down to a few sneak peeks. I've decided to do a second section with more documentary images - images that just followed the moments as they happened, so please give the blog some time to load!

Simple minimalist décor made from roses and pampas grass was trendy, yet timeless.
